About the Whispering Garden
A gift of $150 or more qualifies your current or departed animal companion to be honored with an image in the Whispering Garden.
Your pet’s photo will join other photo remembrances of companion animals past and present. A granite-lined pathway guides visitors through the Whispering Garden to remember, reflect and smile upon cherished memories and current joys.
All proceeds from the Whispering Garden support veterinary medicine at Kansas State University.
You will also receive a forever keepsake of your pet.
